After the death of his lawyer, Arthur Topham, charged with hate crimes, has applied for a Rowbotham.

The term is used in the judicial reprocess when one cannot afford a lawyer, yet their case is serious enough that if convicted the accused could serve jail time.

“Doug was likely the most competent counsel one could have in cases such as these and to try to find a replacement for him has proven to be a tremendous challenge,” Topham said.

“Besides that Doug (Christie) was a very kind and considerate in terms of his fees and even at that I owe his office.”

Topham said he was initially denied legal aid as it was determined he made too much per month.

“It appears a person has to be living on the street without a penny to their name in order to qualify for legal aid these days,” Topham said.

Topham added the Rowbotham application was stalled out earlier in May. He now awaits his next court appearance, July 9.

Topham’s property was searched and some seized in May of 2012, after it was determined there were “reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.”

Crown officially moved forward on the charge about five months after the search and seizure of property.

Topham, who adamantly denies the charge, said back in Novemeber of 2012, he’s hopeful having his day in court will raise awareness surrounding free speech and the definition of “hate crimes.”

“This is not to say that I have full confidence in Canada’s judicial system but it will hopefully give me an opportunity to present the facts and the truth before a judge and jury of my peers; something that would never have happened if the case had been decided by a tribunal,” he said.

Topham’s next court appearance is July 9 in Quesnel provincial court.

If convicted he could spend a maximum of two years in prison.

RCMP busted a substantial weed grow-op along the Barkerville Highway.

May 31 the Quesnel RCMP Drug Section executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2000 block of the Barkerville Highway.

A 700 plant marihuana grow operation was located inside the house and shop.

Two males, 49 and 56 years old respectively, both residents of com-munities in the lower mainland, were arrested. One male has been released on a promise to appear. The other male was held on an outstanding warrant from the low-er mainland.

Charges will be recommended against both males for production of a controlled substance, posses-sion of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and theft of electricity.

The RCMP is dedicated to the era-

dification of controlled substances. It is a task that requires co-ordi-nated efforts of both police and community. Information received from the community is a large part of the investigation. RCMP ask for the public’s assistance in tackling the problem of the production and distribution of illicit substances and related offences.

If you have any information re-lated to this or any other crime, please call the Quesnel RCMP at 250-992-9211 or Crimestoppers.

The Quesnel RCMP has a dedi-cated drug enforcement unit that works specifically on the eradifica-tion of controlled substances with-in their detachment area.

Through various investigative techniques the unit identifies and investigates files related to the pro-duction and distribution of these illicit substances as well as related offences.

Council hears both sides of pipeline planDANIKA M. HÉBERT

Observer Reporter

At Monday’s delegation and committee of the whole meeting, council heard from both sides of the Northern Gateway debate, hosting presentations by Katrin MacLean, spokesperson for the opposition of the pipeline, as well as Colin Kinsley and Shane Kelly from Enbridge Inc.

MacLean presented a report highlighting the risks involved if the Northern Gateway Project moves forward, specifically how the pipeline will affect Quesnel residents.

“A minimum of 164 geological hazards known as geohazards were identified, with 117 occurring in B.C.,” MacLean’s report explained.

“These are geological features that can cause or create potential irreparable damage.”

Of the 117 identified in British Columbia, 36 have been identified in the Interior Plateau.

These are hazards which can potentially cause or create damage and include slides, streams prone to flooding and avalanches.

According to MacLean’s report, the proposed pipeline’s routes would affect six biogeoclimatic zones which include wetlands, forests and

meadows.“All species of pacific

salmon, rainbow trout and other sport fish will be affected on the pipeline route,” MacLean’s report explained.

MacLean also said the proposed pipeline could have an effect on Quesnel, if a spill were to happen.

“Though the pipeline route is a fair distance away, there is a remote chance that if a spill on this part of the route happens, Quesnel could be affected, as was the case in May 1974,” MacLean said.

“That spill created such concern fisheries biologists kept a close eye on it worrying that a major fish kill of the Stuart River sockeye run, which were migrating to the ocean via the Fraser, might take place.”

The report also explained that if a salmon run was destroyed any certain year, it would mean those fish would not be returning to spawn, creating a hardship to species which depend on salmon as food, such as bears and eagles.

Oil spills affect animals in various ways. The oil weighs down birds and contaminates the water they drink and search for food in.

What Can Investors Learn From Gardeners

Summer is almost here. If you’re a gardener, you’re probably outside daily tending to your flowers, fruits or vegetables. But even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can still take advantage of the season by “planting the seeds” for the growth of another valuable piece of property — your investment portfolio.

Actually, you can find a few similarities between successful gardening and effective investing. For starters, both gardeners and investors need to consider the landscape. If, for example, your garden is in a shady part of your yard, you could grow some nice geraniums, but you’ll have tougher time with roses, which crave the sun. As an investor, you’ll also find that some investments are more appropriate for your situation than others. So, before you purchase a stock, bond or mutual fund, you’ll need to determine if it’s suitable for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals.

In addition, just as gardeners don’t usually grow only one variety of a flower or one fruit or vegetable, an investor shouldn’t stick with one type of investment vehicle. If you own nothing but aggressive growth stocks, you’ll likely take on too much risk. Conversely, if you are too conservative and invest only in bonds, you’ll probably never achieve the growth you need, and your earnings may not even keep pace with inflation. Instead, think about building a portfolio containing a variety of investments that, when put together, can help you make progress toward your objectives. We call this diversification, and while it can’t guarantee you’ll make a profit or prevent losses, it can be a good strategy to help reduce overall risk.

Another trait exhibited by gardeners and worthy of emulation by investors is patience. If you were dissatisfied with the growth of a plant after just a few days, would you uproot it and put another plant in its place? Probably not. Instead, you’d nurture the original plant, hoping that, in the long term, it is possible for it to grow. The same thinking can apply to investments. Over the short term, your investment choices will fluctuate in price, and sometimes you may be frustrated by what you perceive as the lack of progress. But instead of constantly selling off investments and buying new ones, you’ll likely be better off choosing quality securities and holding them for a period of many years. Eventually, your efforts may be rewarded.

What else do gardeners do that might be relevant to investors? For one thing, they get rid of weeds that can choke off the growth of flowers or vegetables. As an investor, you too may benefit from occasionally “pruning” your portfolio of those investments that no longer meet your needs, and, in fact, take up space that could otherwise be more profitably used. That’s why it’s a good idea to review your holdings at least once a year.

So the next time you see some industrious gardeners making something beautiful and productive in their yards, watch them closely. Their skills and habits might be productively transferred to you as you invest for the future.

Obituary Tribute

The family of Jim Girvin announce with sadness his passing on May 18, 2013 at the age of 87.Jim was born in Vancouver on March 29, 1926 to Alma and James Girvin. After high school, he spent a year studying theology at Mt. Angel Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, in St. Benedict, Oregon. He later studied at UBC where he obtained his degree in education. He worked at St. George’s School in Vancouver for a year before taking a teaching position in Port Alice where he met his future wife, Mary Charleston in the spring of 1952. Jim and Mary were married in Vancouver in August of 1953 and began their life together in Port Alice. Within a few months they moved to Port Hardy where Jim was principal of Robert Scott Elementary as well as an appointed stipendiary magistrate. It was during their Port Hardy years that Jim and Mary began their family by welcoming two daughters.Jim and Mary moved to Quesnel in the fall of 1957 and over the next few years completed their family with the addition of two more daughters and two sons. Jim was principal of Quesnel Elementary, which later became Helen Dixon Elementary, for many

years. He taught English at Quesnel Secondary School for a year and spent many years teaching various night school courses to adults. He spent the last few years of his teaching career as principal of Barlow Creek Elementary and St. Anne’s School. In addition to teaching, Jim was an active participant in his community and over the years was a member of many organizations including, the Quesnel and District Teachers Association, the Rotary Club, and the Seniors’ Society. At various times he served on the boards of the G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital, the Quesnel Library, School District # 28 and UNBC. He was involved with St. Anne’s Parish Council and the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed many years as an alderman and was coroner for several years. Jim volunteered tirelessly and cheerfully whether it was peeling potatoes at Billy Barker Days, calling bingo, playing Santa Claus, � lling and delivering Christmas hampers or selling ra� e tickets for a local charity or fundraiser. He gave generously to many charities and in particular to his favorite, WaterCan.After leaving Quesnel in 2008, Jim spent two years in Campbell River before settling in Cranbrook in July of 2010. Many of his fondest memories were of his time spent in Quesnel, but he

was at home wherever he was because he had the gift of contentment and gratitude; he loved life and he loved people. He will be remembered for his kindness, unfailing good nature, quick wit and generous spirit.Jim was predeceased by his parents, his siblings Joan and Gerry, his wife Mary and grandsons Rod and Matthew. He is survived by his children: Pat (Randy Eckland), Jayne (Chris Waring), Matthew, Michele (Kevin Davis), Theresa (Richard Williams) and Timothy (Sarah Rose) as well as grandchildren: Sean, Kristin, Brenden, Brian, Elsa, Megan, Bryn, Molly, Fergus, Tyler, Alison, Garrett, Nicholas, Reid, Caitlin and Becca and great grandchildren: Callum, Carter, Ava, Mya, Isaac, Luke, Ryland, Landon, Sumer, Leah, Charlie, Grace, Claire, Hope, Jude, Lily, Norah, Rosalie, Ellexandra, and Juniper.

There will be a funeral mass and celebration of Jim’s life on June 22, 2013 starting at 11:00 a.m. at St. Anne’s Parish Church.

Enbridge presents benefits of proposed pipeline

The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline’s map.Google image

from A2

“This is of great concern for British Columbia since much of this proposed pipeline will affect many fish bearing streams either directly or indirectly,” the report said.

“Since much of the route is in remote areas, the response time to set up the equipment to contain the spill will be of grave importance.

“Booms and skimmers will have to be placed into position before the bitumen starts sinking.”

For their part, Enbridge presented to council an overview of what the proposed pipeline could do for the Cariboo.

Their report highlighted the specifics of the proposed pipelines, explaining which safety measures will be put into place.

“Every weld will be inspected during construction,” the report said, adding inspection remote control valves will also be high priority.

One of the biggest concerns with the pipeline is its impact on First Nations communities and land.

However, Enbridge said they are taking those into consideration.

“Route and watercourse crossing selection is based upon engineering and environmental studies and input from Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal communities,” their report explained.

One of the biggest points of Enbridge’s presentation were which benefits would result from the proposed pipeline.

These benefits include $98 billion in tax revenue and $70 billion in income.

Enbridge also said 907,000 person years of employment will be created with the proposed pipeline.

Enbridge listed numerous aboriginal benefits as well, such as:

• Environmental safeguards• Equity ownership of 10 per cent• Tax on reserve land• Employment and trainingLook for updates on the proposed pipeline in

The North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee, consisting of elected officials from the City of Quesnel and the Cariboo Regional District Northern Directors met in Council Chambers Wednesday night to discuss the Multi-Centre project.

Fundraising efforts to date, including funding from the NDI and the province, are close to $25 million.

“Fundraising efforts are really moving forward and we want to keep the momentum,” Mayor Mary Sjostrom said.

“Council believes that building this multi-centre is essential to our community and is dedicated to finding the funds for this project. Council is on board. We need our multi-centre – please support us.”

The North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee is diligently looking into all options available to the project and will meet again on June 25 to discuss the Multi-Centre.

“Thank you to the North Cariboo Multi-Centre Fundraising Committee for their ongoing efforts and dedication to this project,” CRD Vice-Chair Ted Armstrong said.

“It is this type of teamwork that

building communities together is all about. The north Cariboo Regional District Directors feel this is an important project for the future of Quesnel, the north Cariboo and the region as a whole.”

“The Multi-Centre Fundraising Committee is in the midst of a vigorous fundraising campaign and asks that those who do not yet have a piece of the multi-centre, come forward,” Multi-Centre Fundraising Committee Chair Bernice Heinzelman added.

“We are not done fundraising yet. We believe in the Multi-Centre and hope that the residents of Quesnel, the North Cariboo and the entire region will get on board to support the project in any way they can.”

The North Cariboo Multi-Centre will be a modern facility designed to replace the 62-year-old arena and aging theatre infrastructure. It will feature a 1,600 seat NHL-sized arena, a 450-seat performing arts theatre and accompanying event and assembly area.

Flower or harmful weed? Residents invited to info session

Not just another pretty flower

is the caption for the vigorous invasive plant program recently launched in the Cariboo.

For those of you not familiar with the term “invasive plant,” it is a non-native plant species that has the capacity to negatively impact animals, humans and ecosystems.

They are generally free of the natural predators that keep them in check in their native habitats and therefore have a competitive edge over desirable and/or native vegetation.

There is a growing concern about the spread of invasive plants in the North Cariboo, in particular, horticultural based species.

Elected officials from the City of Quesnel and the Cariboo Regional District’s Northern Directors are in support of an educational campaign to raise awareness about these invasives and to help hinder their spread.

There is a general lack of awareness that some horticultural plants are invasive species and I urge you to seek out the available information and inform yourself of those plants and where to seek help if you do have those plants on your property or in your area.

You can also find out how to dispose of or treat invasive plants once they have been identified. Detailed information, including a

description of each of the plants, is available through the City’s website at www.quesnel.ca and the Cariboo Regional District’s website at www.cariboord.bc.ca/Services/InvasivePlants.aspx.

The program mandate is to “operate an invasive plant management program to protect our range and timber lands for the economic and environmental benefit of all British Columbians.

The program follows an integrated pest management approach involving public awareness through education initiatives, chemical control through the application of herbicides, biological control and inter-agency coordination.” The top ten invasive species are:

Baby’s Breath, Knotweed, Himalayan Balsam, Mountain Bluet, Himalayan Blackberry, English Ivy, Purple Loosestrife, Yellow Flag Iris, Flowering Rush and Common Periwinkle.

Residents need to be knowledgeable about horticultural plants to avoid the introduction and

spread of these invasive species. Familiarize yourself, your family and your friends about the horticultural invasive plants in your neighbourhood. You can even find your regional invasive plant committee by calling 1-888-WEEDSBC (1-888-933-3722).

The current calendar of events (which may be subject to change) indicates that the invasive plant team will be hosting an open house on Tuesday, June 18 at 5:30 p.m. in the Program Room of the CRD / Quesnel Library and a tour on Wednesday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m.

Those participating in the tour are asked to meet in the City Hall parking lot. Please contact the Cariboo Regional District office at 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636 or email [email protected] for further event details.

If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at [email protected] and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

David Branigan started off the new year in the

worst possible way: with the police at his door telling him his 22-year-old son, Joshua, had fallen off a cliff and was now in the hospital in critical condition.

“Before the officer even finished his sentence I was running down the road in a panic,” he said.

After arriving at the hospital he was told he couldn’t see Josh because they were working on him. Based on the information he was given, he went down in a heap, sobbing in anguish, terrified his firstborn child wouldn’t survive the day.

He waited frantically for hours, praying his son would make it through. Josh remained in a coma for the next 24 days as his family and friends clung to the possibility of a miracle.

If it hadn’t been for Joel and Wendy Black walking their dogs earlier that morning, those three weeks would have been spent grieving his tragic death, rather than praying for his survival.

Josh had been walking home in the dark after celebrating New Year’s Eve

when he was caught up in a mudslide off the eroded Kye Bay Cliffs in Comox Valley and fell over 100 feet to the rocks below.

The Blacks, who had decided to go on a longer walk than usual, found him laying unconscious and all twisted up after their dogs picked up Josh’s scent.

His breathing had slowed down close to zero since his body had been laying in the freezing cold for up to eight hours. Battling hypothermia, he was rushed to the Victoria General Hospital in a helicopter where his massive contusion and broken wrist were treated.

Initial assessments indicated that his brain injury was so severe that he may never come out of his coma, and if he did, he could be unrecognizable.

Not able to keep up with

the amount of people asking how Josh was doing, David created a Facebook page called the JHB Recovery where he could share Josh’s journey and keep people informed.

“His writing was so emotional and raw, my heart was completely invested,” my Facebook friend Leisa Howell told me about her old acquaintance.

“He quit his job in Comox and put his life on hold to be by his son’s side in Victoria. And then he shared their gripping ordeal with us on Facebook with such honesty and courage, calling in prayer circles and describing a father’s guilt. He gave other people, who have felt the same, a voice.”

Twenty four days after the accident Josh thrilled his family, friends and the thousands that were following online by coming out of his coma, and was soon reminiscing about the Iristani Princess, a big, beautiful boat in Kelowna he once lived and worked on with his dad in 2006 and 2007.

From that recollection, and his wish to be on it again, Leisa and Captain Kirk – David’s previous

partner on the boat – came up with the idea to have a Father’s Day fundraiser for Josh.

“After 125 days in the hospital, this horrendous accident has put a huge financial strain on the family,” Leisa said.

“Josh now lives with a life-altering brain injury and since this is Brain Injury Awareness Month, we thought it was the perfect timing to help them somehow.”

On Father’s Day the vessel, now called the Lake Lounge, will set sail at 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in Kelowna, and for as little as $15 each, families can join Josh and his loved ones for some inspiration, karaoke, and fun in the sun as they celebrate the preciousness of life and Josh’s grateful second chance to live it.

Tickets can be purchased, donations can be made, and all David’s writing can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/JhbRecovery

Partial proceeds will go to Brain Trust Canada.

A second chance at life

Not surprising

Many were surprised Friday when the province announced it could not

support the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal as it currently stands.They shouldn’t have been. The

provincial government’s stance Friday is consistent with the position it has been touting since Premier Christy Clark’s ill-fated foray to Alberta last year.Perhaps what’s surprising is that she

meant it.There was lots of water-cooler talk

that since the Liberals won a majority government last month pipelines would get a green light.It’s not the case.Environment Minister Terry Lake

pointed out that the biggest stumbling block was the fact that Enbridge hasn’t provided answers to questions the province wants answered.“The (Joint Review Panel) must

determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”Kudos to Lake and the provincial

government for listening to what the public has been saying about the proposal.Getting past the rhetoric, the issue of

whether to grant a certificate on the “promise to do more study,” is key.In addition, it certainly leaves the

door open for Enbridge. The question is whether it will decide to enter.Janet Holder, Enbridge Northern

Gateway executive vice president western access, said in a press release the five conditions put forward by the province can’t be met until after the Joint Review Panel process is completed, suggesting that what the province is asking for simply can’t be done and that an impasse exists.However, she added the company

looks forward to working with the province to meet the five conditions, suggesting they aren’t quite ready to throw in the towel on a project it has invested millions of dollars in already.The Northern Gateway project is far

from finished.–Observer

Editor:As discussion and citizen

engagement continue over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, people are taking a step back and assessing the project in a broader, societal context. I for one think that’s a positive thing.

In 2010, according to the International Energy Agency, 81 per cent of the world’s primary energy consumption came from fossil fuels.

And the vast majority of our transportation runs on fossil fuels, whether it’s moving people or goods locally or around the world.

Some may advocate simply cutting off the fossil fuel supply overnight (no new pipelines, no tankers, no

oilsands, no fracking).One hopes we’ll be able

to develop technologies that will allow us to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels – but it will take decades for this to happen.

Cutting off fossil fuels now would only result in extreme human hardship given the lack of alternatives.

The fact is we need oil in Quesnel just as much as everywhere else – and we’ll continue to need it for a long time into the future.

In the meantime, the oil has to be moved – safely and securely without a doubt – from where it has been lying for millions of years to where the market demands it.

For that, there are only

a limited number of alternatives: oil can be run through a pipeline, or shipped on rail cars, or loaded onto tanker trucks.

But compared to other modes of transport, pipelines have proven to be the safest means of transporting fuels.

It’s unfortunate that some opponents simply discount the benefits of the oilsands and pipelines to British Columbia and the country, while exaggerating the risks.

But you need to know that Northern Gateway will be one of the largest investments of private capital in B.C. history and will bring huge economic benefits to Quesnel and this province as a whole – including long-term jobs, community development

and projected tax revenues of $1.2 billion.

As a former mayor of Prince George, I can state clearly that B.C.’s north and the northwest coast regions have a long history of industrial development including forestry, mining, electrical transmission and even other pipeline developments.

In fact, much development has occurred through history along the proposed Northern Gateway right-of-way, which follows a route designed to minimize impacts on the area by taking advantage of already disturbed tracts of land.

These already-disturbed tracts include forest service roads,

harvested areas, electrical transmission routes and vehicle access routes.

In truth, very few segments of the proposed pipeline will require new rights-of-way through undisturbed forest.

And the Douglas Channel is no stranger to industrial marine traffic – including tankers carrying petrochemicals.

It has a decades-long history as a safe, deepwater entrance to a port providing strategic advantages for accessing Asian markets.

We should all work together to improve industry’s environmental performance.

We should accept the challenge to reduce our personal reliance on fossil fuels while we recognize

the world will continue to need oil – and pipelines – for the foreseeable future.

Working together with B.C. communities, demanding the best environmental performance possible and understanding the world’s need for oil for everything from transportation to heating, cooking, manufacturing and healthcare, are all reasonable ways to move this province toward a brighter future for all British Columbians.

Colin Kinsley is the former mayor of Prince George and current Chair of the Northern Gateway Alliance, a grassroots coalition in support of the regulatory review process assessing Northern Gateway.

Quesnel needs oil as much as anywhere else

Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges.

The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile

phones and other devices starting Dec. 2.

Besides the ability to escape three-year con-tracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more.

“Canadians may � nally now be freed of the worst

of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.”

He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users.

“It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,”

Lawford said.Individuals and small

business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price.

A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with the service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract.

“The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service pro-viders at least every two years,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said.

It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules.

“We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn

Hall said in an emailed statement.

He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on international data roam-ing.

“We are thus well posi-tioned to support this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.”

Before roads were well developed in the Cariboo, sternwheelers

and their river landings became small communities with stores, corrals, gardens, ranch houses and hay fields.

Many pioneers started their life in the Cariboo at a rough landing such as Fort Alexandria, Dale Landing, Woodpecker and Whites Landing, where the BX and Quesnel riverboats off loaded the family's goods, equipment and stock. From there the search began for a 160-acre pre-emption parcel somewhere in the forested, undeveloped land.

A Sunday drive now can be most interesting while driving down access roads to the Fraser River. South of Quesnel,

Hold and Dale Roads lead to abandoned settlements at the river. North of town, the sternwheelers stopped when flagged down with major stops at Whites landing, Woodpecker, Stoner, Cottonwood Mouth, Canyon Creek and Brownscombe's to name just a few.

The pre-emption of crown land was a huge draw and most of the Fraser's shores were settled over the years when settlement went up from the river to the plateau lands. Agriculture was the occupation of 80 per cent of Canadians in that era, so self-sufficient farming, trapping and gold panning were standard circumstances.

Populations were very small in the early areas in the late 1800s

and early 1900s.Roads were just trails cut out

of the forests to access the 160-acre spreads or river landings.

The Grand Trunk Northern Railway (now CNR), opened a huge area by providing access and delivering equipment, supplies and people in the Prince George area.

The Pacific Great Eastern

Railway grade to Prince George created a lot of work and needed cash in 1912. The project failed and a later attempt in 1921 also failed, although it did reach Quesnel then.

Many, many started work on their land in anticipation of work and markets for their products. Many hung on but many abandoned their places out of desperation.

I have walked for miles along the old PGE grades and found all sorts of evidence of how it was constructed by wheelbarrows and shovels.

The old rail grades served as a rough road for years until a vehicle road was worked on in the 1920s.

W.A.C. Bennett finally got the train to Prince George in 1952

and a land boom developed.While exploring these roads

north of Quesnel, watch for the abandoned rail grades and note where the gravel path uses the old development.

The Quesnel library and the Quesnel Museum have copies of books describing the history of those settlements. They will give you a history book of how, when and who pioneered to develop our rich land by perseverance and darn hard work.

We have benefited from their efforts.

Take a Sunday drive. Get lost in the past. Have a snack at the Hixon Takeout or the Alamo Grill.

A.l. patchett & sons mill Destroyed by fire

“Fire completely destroyed the A.L. Patchett & Sons Ltd. Sawmill on the Blackwater Road last Friday afternoon. The blaze broke out about 1:30 p.m. and employees at the spot were unable to check the swift advance of the flames. The mill was valued at approximately $60,000 and it was covered by insurance. Workmen were busy putting the plant in shape to resume operations after a shutdown for break-up. The mill was due to go back into production Monday. In addition to the mill itself, a Jeep and tools belonging to Stan Rye were also lost in the fire. Mr. Rye is a company Millwright who was in charge of the annual spring overhaul. Cause of the fire has not been definitely ascertained but it is believed it might have been started from a welding torch. Plans for replacing the unit are still indefinite. Instead of a permanent type installation, a portable mill may be put into operation to provide more flexibility in the company’s cutting schedule.”

Skyfest - Quesnel’s International Airshow will be welcoming some unusual guests Aug. 3 – 4. Discovery Channel has contracted Great Pacific Television (GPT) production company to film the airshow at Quesnel Airport.

Discovery Channel is filming a number of airshow pilots for a new series expected to air in March 2014.

“We were looking for locations where several of the characters overlapped and Quesnel was one of those shows,” director Rob Mitchell said.

“I came up with the idea for the series and pitched it to Discovery Channel and they bought the show.

“The show will follow characters around the airshow industry including Donna Flynn the air show boss and the pyro/special effects team led by April Zalesky [will also be at Skyfest] and the rest are flying performers.”

Mitchell is no stranger to flying. He’s a former Snowbird and currently flies with the Patriots Jet Team out of California.

“I’ve been brainstorming about this type of show for a few years with Great Pacific Television owner Mark Miller and I bring a unique perspective both behind and in front of the camera,” Mitchell said.

“I understand this industry at a very detailed level.

“However, this is the first time airshow performers have been featured in this character-based series.”

He added GPT has done flying travel journal style shows as well as documentaries on various airshow demo teams.

In Quesnel, GPT

will have two camera crews, production staff and one principal director. He described the series as observational documentary where everything is filmed as it naturally unfolds.

“Nothing will be scripted,” he said.

Mitchell also said with this being the first season, staying in the west helps with logistics.

“We need to get a good cross section of air shows, big and small. It costs a lot of money to make television and that’s why we carefully select our locations – we can’t possibly go to every show. Quesnel is a great choice because several of the characters will be there and the airport in Quesnel is a good venue to conduct an airshow. One of the elements of this series is to show the background and complexities of bring an airshow to the audience.”

But filming a live event poses certain challenges and Mitchell said the first of many is doing what they need to to do while the performers are safely doing what they need to do.

“We have very skilled, experienced

camera crews and we [production crew]

have to ensure we get out of the way when the pilots need to work alone.”

As the weather is typically hot and dry at the time of Quesnel’s Skyfest, Mitchell said another challenge for the crew is lugging heavy equipment around and staying out in the blazing sun for long periods of time.

When asked if Quesnel would feature in the series, Mitchell said the context of the location will be involved in the program.

“If there’s something that relates to the characters regionally it will be highlighted when focusing on the characters involved.”

He went on to say the GPT crews will arrive July 31 and remain in Quesnel until Aug. 5.

“In truth, we’re

trying to keep our footprint at the event low so we don’t interfere with the show. We keep a low profile and are not obvious to the performers.”

As for the success of the series, Mitchell said the subject matter (air show pilots) has a built in audience given that about 10 million people attend air shows each year.

“Unlike many other shows where interesting people are doing difficult jobs,

this show has the built in audience so viewership is already there. But our job is to deliver compelling stories with good characters and vivid imagery.”

Tickets for the airshow are available at Circle ‘S’ Western Wear and the Tourist Info Centre for weekend passes, day passes and weekend camping packages.

The Great Pacific TV film crew was recently in Oklahoma shooting for the upcom-ing series. Here they are interviewing Carol Pilon, a wing walker who is performing in Quesnel at Skyfest.

LIFESTYLES

Several summers ago I witnessed every parent’s nightmare.

As I looked out my livingroom I noticed a neighbour, a man, acting rather strangely.

A barely disguised look of terror was on his face as he walked the street, scanning back and forth between cars, front yards and backyards. I could see him talking nervously to other neighbours.

When he came and knocked on my door I learned that he’d lost his little girl. The family thought she was playing with other kids a few houses down, but when he went to fetch her he learned she had vanished.

I felt his fear in my own heart as I imagine my little one alone and at the mercy of strangers – even on my own street. I empathized with the man and started praying for the safe return of his daughter.

It wasn’t long before many parents on the street were out looking for the little girl.

The father was by far the most energetic searcher. Within a few minutes he disappeared down the street.

Much to our relief, the little lost girl was found about 20 minutes later. She had gone inside a friend’s house and was playing downstairs, playing and completely clueless of the search in progress.

As I reflect on that event, I find that God is a lot like that father. He yearns for his estranged creatures to enter into His family. He longs for the wanderers to come home. Your heavenly Father’s heart beats for lost people.

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10)

In His day, Jesus earned a reputation as a “friend of sinners.” He spent time with them. He dined with them. He healed them. He encouraged them.

Not just the small time sinner. Jesus hung out with the worst of the worst. He had the audacity to “break the rules” to seek and save the lost. He did not require them to come to Him. He went to the places where they could be found – the marketplaces, street corners and their homes.

The fact is that your heavenly Father values lost people. He takes the time and effort to orchestrate all of history so that they find Him. He rejoices when they come home. If your heart beats like the Father’s, you’ll love lost people too.

Pet-friendly outdoor spacesWith sweet summer in our

midst, it’s time to gear up the green thumb and get gardening.

This season keep your pet in mind while planting your garden and create a truly enjoyable outdoor oasis that’s also safe for your four legged friend.

Clarine Lee-Macaraig, an eco-expert with Evergreen – a national organization committed to building sustainable green cities – offers the following tips for passionate pet owners to take action in their own backyards and beyond:

Planting Prowess Choosing the right plants

is key to a safe garden. Avoid Lily of the Valley, Yew, Rhododendron, Oleander, Azaleas, Foxglove and Deadly Nightshade, which can be just as toxic to humans as pets. If you prefer a green space to

garden beds, consider white clover seeds instead of grass seeds. White clover is more tolerant of dog and cat urine. And it can grow in shade, sun and it fixes nitrogen back into your soil!

Roaming RoverKnow your pet’s

personality and design accordingly. For an energetic pup create a raised garden, which can protect some of your prized plants, keep your pet safe. Raised garden beds are also good solutions to pets that are chewers. Be sure to allow plenty of space for your pet to run in and don’t forget a shaded area under which they can enjoy some rest and relaxation.

Safe solutions - Keeping it organic is the safest way to garden for everyone in the family. Avoid pesticides and fertilizers, which can

be dangerous for four legged family members. Because pets regularly clean themselves the chemicals can irritate and harm a cat or dog.

Know your pet! If your pet is sensitive and has allergies even natural or organic pest and weed controls can aggravate them.

Try companion planting for the best pest control.

Rein it inBe sure to keep your pets

(cats and dogs) leashed when walking on unknown trails to protect plant life and wildlife in forests and wetlands. Remember that cats can be wildlife conscious too by wearing a leash and collar bell to alert and protect birds and other wildlife.

Renovations aren’t just about updating the design and comfort of your home or cottage, they can also be a great way to incorporate better approaches and sustainable technologies that cost very little, but lead to big savings.

It’s often hard to know where to start when considering a green renovation. If you’re considering a partial or full home renovation and want to go green, visit www.cagbc.org/greenhomes for a valuable list of resources, including local architects, advisors or contractors who are best qualified to help.

Here are some simple tips to get you thinking about renovating your space with an eye to saving – both money and the environment:

• Often in renovations you have the opportunity to fill un-insulated spaces to make them more energy efficient. To go green, consider rock wool or cellulose insulation. Both are available at most home

renovation centers and contain recycled content, are made in Canada and have the potential to reduce your monthly heating costs.

• The biggest single electricity user in an average gas heated home is your refrigerator. While renovating a kitchen, consider recycling your old fridge (many utility companies will pick it up for free) and purchasing an Energy Star fridge. Choosing a smaller size will also reduce the monthly energy cost. Compare the EnerGuide rating that is listed on each fridge before you buy one – this will tell you which

ones will save you the most energy and the most money.

• Reducing water use and hot water bills when renovating your bathroom is easy. Installing a low flow or low flow dual-flush toilet can reduce your water use by up to 25 per cent. A smart way to sort through what works best on the market now is to visit www.map-testing.com.

• Did you know showers use about 40 per cent of the hot water in your home? Installing the right low flow shower head, especially one that is 1.75 gallons per minute (GPM) or less, will save you up to 30 per cent.

• When looking to replace or install new windows, look for those that are Energy Star rated for zone C or D. You could also consider installing casement windows, which tend to be less drafty as they age when compared to slider and double hung windows.

This past weekend is one that will be remembered and talked about for years to come for some of the motocross racers from Quesnel.

Despite our Cariboo weather bringing on the heat and followed by thunderstorms, Quesnel racers attended rounds nine and ten in the BCMA motocross races in Prince George.

The P.G. track put all our racers to the test. As one spectator quoted saying, “It sure chewed up the Quesnel riders.”

That did not stop Colton Shepherd however, claiming five out of eight hole

shots and didn't stop Jackson Nickolet from taking home an overall first place trophy in School Boy, followed by Colton Shepherd who gave Jackson a battle to the very finish.

Shepherd held on to first place until his last lap, when he went down allowing Nickolet to pull ahead and take the lead.

It was a fast and furious battle the entire race on Sunday.

This came after Saturday's race when Shepherd's bike slid out from under him and sent him flying through the air,

crashing hard and finishing him off for the day, but he recuperated in time to put on the challenge of the weekend for Sunday.

Quesnel racer Jordy Davis also performed like never before on Saturday in the Int. MX 3 class, taking a first overall.

Sunday, however, took a turn for Davis when things went terribly wrong over a jump, planting Davis to the ground and leaving him momentarily unconscious on the track.

After being examined at the hospital,

Davis was found to have suffered a severe concussion forcing him to take the next several weeks off.

The same went for another Quesnel racer, Jordan Brears.

On Saturday, Brears flipped several times coming down a long hill known as the elevator and suffered a concussion from the accident.

Spencer O Flynn raced in the 7 - 11 age group in the 85cc class on Saturday, also taking a first place overall, followed by Dayne Cutrell taking third.

Prince George track chews up Quesnel Riders

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

You could hear the wail of the dirtbike long before you saw the flashes of yellows, oranges or reds through the pine trees. It gave you warning to stop talking and find a place protected from the inevitably thrown clods of dirt before the rider, sometimes literally, flies into view and then out again.

Riders were out on the course for up to four hours Saturday at the Outback Bushwack cross-country race June 1.

The top five classes, or "A" riders, race on a 29 km loop for three to four hours, while the bottom six classes, or "B" riders, race on a 17 km loop for two to three hours.

“These loops are full of natural obstacles that test a racer’s mental and physical endurance,” one of the race organizers, Tim Barker said.

“Winners get a trophy and bragging rights.”

The trails, which had been slightly changed due to environmental concerns, were difficult enough

“It was pretty fantastic,” Hixon rider Blake Stitt said.

“The rain made it pretty slippery. It was rooty and muddy and slippery.”

And when he says endurance, it really means something. Both riders and bikes go through a lot to make it through the loop even once.

“A lot of the guys that race motocross, which is about going really hard for about 20 minutes

and then done, they come out, and here you’re out there for three or four hours. You get the motocrossers that come out and they either don’t finish or if they do finish they’re like ‘that’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” he said.

Two local riders and a close-enough-to-local rider made their impacts on the podium.

Quesnel’s Brad Dunn took first in vet expert. Jared Lucas, also of Quesnel, took second in junior over. Hixon’s Blake Stitt took third in intermediate.

The race brought 82 racers from Rossland to Vancouver to Pouse Coupe to Quesnel. It was a good turnout for the race and Barker said running the race earlier had a lot to do with that.

“We’ve always done our race late summer/early fall. The problem with that is last year we had a small turnout,” Barker said.

With the results for bragging rights and points, at the end of the season riders would often skip, he said.

“You only get the guys who are hardcore or who are still hunting for points. So we made the decision to bump the race up earlier in the year,” he said.

After the race, the area cleared out as riders and support crew made their way to Williams Lake for the second race of the weekend.

Barker also stressed that though the motorcycle club takes care of Hangman’s recreational trails, 20 kms west of town, they are open to everybody, whether they’re on the back of a machine or moving courtesy of their own two feet.

June 9 – 15, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20You could be feeling under the weather this week, Aries. Even if your to-do list is a mile long, you need to take some time to recuperate before getting back to business.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Life experience is your advantage, Taurus. When your company is looking to fill a position, they will most likely hire from within. Make the most of this opportunity.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, just when things seem hopeless, a small ray of light shines through and you find a solution to your problem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to find the answer you’re looking for.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but others are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don’t know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you have much to learn, but you cannot cram it all into one week. There is no crash course on life. Make the most of a getaway opportunity.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22You can’t seem to focus on one thing for very long this week, Scorpio. You might have to spend a few days clearing your mind before you can refocus on the tasks at hand.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you are not one to let an obstacle block you from your goal. Rethink your strategy and you will soon find yourself back on the path to success.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, changes at home are in store and you may be feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is perfectly understandable as you await the news.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, vacation plans may have been elusive until now, but you finally have the funds and the time to take the trip you desire. Your traveling partner is still up in the air.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a new season inspires you to make changes and reconsider old relationships. Call it a late spring cleaning of your life.

JONAS GAGNONObserver Reporter

Correlieu and QJS athletes found personal success in Langley last weekend, competing in the track and field provincials and finding that extra bit of punch to push their performances forward.

“Everyone did well, all improved and achieved personal bests,” Correlieu track coach Pat Marsh said.

Grade 11 Correlieu student Brayden McCall just missed a ribbon, placing ninth overall in men’s javelin.

Konrad Teetzen ran faster than he had before beating his best time in 200m and 400m. Katrina MacLean beat her best in both the 1500m and 800m.

For the QJS students, Cole Dinsdale placed 18th in the 800m run with a personal best time of 2:12 min. Justin MacDonald placed 11th in the 100m hurdles, running a consistent 17.37 seconds. Christina Lawrence competed against senior level athletes in the Javelin. She placed 15th with a personal best throw of 28.62m.

Correlieu’s Katelyn Godsoe and James Olauson, who had qualified for provincials, could not attend, while QJS’s Olivia Baptiste got ill before the competition and couldn’t make the trip.

Up next for all Correlieu and QJS athletes is the Spruce Capital Track meet in Prince George this coming Saturday and Sunday. Athletes eight years-old to masters will be competing. Any elementary school athletes interested can register with P.G. Track.

from A16The Watson family, dad Brian and sons,

raced this weekend, with Brian taking home a second place trophy on Saturday in the plus 40 class and a first place in the vet jr. on Sunday. His sons Austin and Haiden also raced, with Austin earning a first and third place finish in the 12 - 16 age group in the 85cc and Haiden finishing fourth overall in Schoolboy, each on Sunday.

Racing came to abrupt end for Jacob Nestel from Quesnel on Sunday while he was racing in the 85cc class 7 - 11 age group. Nestel rounded a corner, went off the track and fell down the bank into a deep water pond. With the bike fully submerged, officials and nearby spectators scrambled to his rescue, pulling Nestel from the pond. Later, volunteers went into the pond, tying a fire hose to the submerged bike so it could be retrieved.

Once the racing was all done I had to ask one of our injured racers, "Does this make you think you may be done with motocross racing?" To my surprise, the answer was "No way."

Next weekend racers we'll be off to Kamloops for more BCMA racing on Saturday and to attend the Monster Energy Pro Nationals on Sunday.

Multi-Centre and now is our time. By supporting the North Cariboo

Multi-Centre you are investing in the future of our community in so

many ways. We have until May 31st to raise the money.

It’s easy - here is how individuals and companies can help:

• Buy a seat for $250, dedicate it to someone you love or as a legacy- if every seat sold, we would raise $500,000; • Buy a piece of the North Cariboo Nature Mural starting at $25; • Sponsor the theatre; • Sponsor a room in the multi-centre; • Make a donation.

Many packages have been delivered to businesses and individuals.

If you are ready to make your donation or would like more information,
